We are living literally in 1984!

Intro

My next wheeled vehicle that Im creating so far. This armoured car has even a space (thick!) inside for (like) feeling if you re really controlling this BRDM-2. But anyways, lets get started.

Main infromation

by this pictures Im not calling to the real actions

Main characteristics of the BRDM-2:

Combat weight: 5 tons.
Engine: V-shaped, four-stroke, carburetor, 8-cylinder, liquid-cooled GAZ-41. Maximum power: 100 hp
Maximum speed: on land - 95 km / h, afloat - 10 km / h.
Cruising range: 750 km.
Wheel arrangement: 8x8.
Crew: 4 people
Armament: machine gun of 14.5 mm and 7.62 mm caliber.

The main feature of the BRDM-2 is its high cross-country ability and maneuverability. So make this vehicle for proper use. This tank made for the recon, so it cant be used for a fight with a .... tank. Also, it can be used as a vehicle for a sabotage and assault group for moving long in to the front and finding something interesting.

this vehicle can swim

so you can use it as a marine unit by deploying it from the ship

How it looks inside

You re now in the driving hatch (or just inside). I didnt want to make it too complicated, so I did it minimalistic and using everything proper where each part should be in the real one.

Computer, unfortunately, isnt working. Im not superman to code it. You can also use a joystick (for moving vehicle on the water) and also moving hydraulics. Map is working, but it only useful for finding targets.

As I said earlier, you can use support wheels for helping yourself getting out of the trench (the main reason why this wheels were made). I checked the info about these wheels, in the 1980 (its mid version) the constructors didnt put them away and only did it in the later versions. So you have to deal with this support wheels (or you maybe enjoy it idk)

Armament

This tanks uses a 14.5 mm auto gun and it has even a recoil (thick!). So if you shoot, the gun will go forwards and backwards. And yes, there s no yet a stab for the gun (not even a 2 axes stab) so its a bit uncomfortable to use it on the ride. Be careful.
